they had to blame it on obama. in fact the romney campaign has now risen not denying that romney made $115 million or that he made 4 billion because once i went to the paper trail and by the way they involved me so i know these guys. the numbers are there. they couldn't tonight but they said it is because of obama that the jobs are lost and because of his bail out. he threw it out the window and they caught him. the idea again, it was the romney group which refuse to pay the pension. there has been some ads out blaming obama for not taking care of the nonunion workers, that it was somehow a payoff to the union workers that they got their pensions but the nonunion workers didn't. excuse me. the union workers did not get any help from from the aplomb administration which impact was willing to cut their pension, just so you know true blues. the obama administration told she had to cut the union pensions that were owed at delphi, but gm said we have a corporate obligation and we certainly don't want angry unhappy worke
